when has raising taxes helped to grow the economy? I'm mainly talking capital gains taxes.
you might have bought into that simplistic class warfare tax argument, about cutting taxes for the wealthy. the fact is the wealthy pay most of the income taxes, so when taxes are cut they do benefit more than someone that didn't pay anything (the poor).
its not the governments role to manage the gap between rich and poor. if they would stop trying to use the tax code for social engineering we'd all be better off.
